Can a child get too much attention?

Kate is getting more vocal. It's more than just grunts and sighs and cries. She is kind of calling out to me. It's pretty cool. I think she's trying to get my attention. And of course I give it to her. But can a child get too much attention? Is it wrong to meet their every need immediately? Does that make children too self-centered? We do raise a lot of kids in this country who think the world revolves around them. I remember when I was on a mission trip to Mexico being amazed at how the children in this poor village were able to share one little toy together...all 20 of them. Anyway I think it's a challenge to help a child recognize that the world doesn't revolve around them...so that they recognize that life is about more than having their needs met. I am willing to take suggestions if you have any. But for now I have to get a bottle ready...she's hungry.
